Dealer 54 Posted October 2, 2018 2 yesterday, was going to be 3 but had a completely unrealistic customer on a 7 year old car with 109k on it asking stupid questions from the start. End of September was really good, last week went some way to saving it for us as before that it was dire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the amount of tolerance and patience I have left in me some of them do buy. "Why are you selling it?" is by far my favourite question 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan W 57 Posted October 2, 2018 my favourite one they ask is, what did they trade it in for....... what has that got to do with anything mr customer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stocking up is gradually happening though. Now there's a comparison, I averaged a rolling 9 advertised last month and sold 16. I've managed to buy stock really well but am being held up by a backlog in prep. I have 12 currently advertised and another 12 in prep or waiting to join the prep queue......

I've nicked three from auction today, one yesterday so it's coming but they will all need a little TLC and as I'm away for an extended weekend, I'm not going to be selling anything until next weekend! That said, I had 4 for sale until mid September when I got up to 8 and then sold 5 in 3 days so it can happen. It's never easy!

I can't believe how many people ask me this question, erm....it's my job? unbelievable isnt it ? i get this, i point them to bottom of advert that theyre reading while on there phone and i say, see, it says trade ? and not uncommonly the phone goes down now i always think that either a, they trying to lower the price on a private punter so they can resell it themselves, or, b, they think all traders are rip off merchants, well, good luck to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
